We thank everybody for your replies and support. Today 27th March 2012 we have settled our claim with our insurers. Unfortunately we have had to accept a gagging order in final settlement and therefore cannot disclose anymore details in relation to our claim, but I would add to anyone who has problems with Cunningham Lindsey to use this forum. They are definitely aware of what is said and it proves that if you are prepared to take these bully boys on you can ultimately be successful. I wish you all well. Get a good solicitor and they will definitely back off, they do not want bad publicity due to being commissioned by our present Governnment into settling the London riot claims. M2lou

Thank you for your reply. Even though I believe our claims differ, the route of our problems seems to be mishandling of our claims through Cunningham Lindsay. Our claim refers to negligence of a UK based removal company to our home in Spain. Our consignment was insured with Fortis a dutch based insurance company with Reason Global as the broker. Cunningham Lindsay by way of mishandling the claim have left us in the position of not being able to purchase replacement components for our furniture. Unfortunately it is our removal company who we are taking to the High Court and not Cunningham Lindsay who are responsible for putting them in this position. As this has gone on for so long and the fact that I am retired I have been able to spend my days researching all the parties concerned. I am not aware of the details of your claim but prior to this I was an expert witness at 2 public inquiries and therefore aware of the procedures and the way to present evidence in court. I may be able to assist you in the way of guidance as I have researched the High Court procedures in presenting such a case. Additionally my son is a senior underwriter and is able to give guidance in relation to these matters. I have tried to place my email address but I do not have enough posts. The only alternative I have is to submit our postal address: [EDIT]. If you wish to contact me please enclose your email address/phone number and I will contact you immediately. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks for your reply. One has to be in this kind of situation to try and understand how stressful dealing with Cunningham Lindsay is. We have been fighting our case for nearly 2 years but only instructed a solicitor in October 2011. After spending £4,000 and getting nowhere due to Cunningham Lindsay's inaction we are expecting to have to issue proceedings next week. It is not going to be cheap, an estimated £15,000 which we have had to pay in advance, but for us now it is not about winning or losing it is more about taking on these bully-boys at their own game. All the emails and letters that we have sent which Cunningham Lindsay have denied ever receiving, thankfully were sent recorded delivery and we also have delivery notification for our emails. I hope we get a decent enough judge that will put them in their place. Even though we would prefer to keep our affairs private, we have been contacted by a freelance reporter who is very interested in our dilema, even to the extent of bringing into the equation a production company if this goes all the way to the High Court, so watch this space!

We are about to issue high court proceedings against a company whose claims are represented by Cunningham Lindsey. Any UK tabloids or documentary researches please contact us direct via this server.
